It's not Michelin star dining but you already know that going in and this place is very good for what it is. You'll find quite a few locals here and a lot of beer drinkers - beer is "hot" in France and especially on a very hot weekend with temperatures above 90 degrees Fahrenheit there were more people enjoying a beer than wine. But the small wine list included some nice options including a nice Gobillard Blanc de Noirs and the food was very good. My salmon was (somewhat surprisingly) perfectly cooked and great - the haricot verts were a bit bland and overcooked but still healthier than frites. My wife's pizza had a typical French crust and with the standard ham & mushroom toppings was very tasty. I would generally give this place 4 stars and I'm definitely a fan. However, you have to take it for what it is - as far as Brasseries go this is one of the better places you'll find in small towns across France. And the main other review on here is complaining about the steak - let's be honest, if you order steak or sausage in France it's usually a bit more funky and just different than you may expect despite the common names. For the most part, the kitchen here does a pretty good job even on a hot day when it had to be sweltering in back. If you're looking for a casual outdoor meal in Epernay with good food & drink and generally friendly service, you may have found your place.

We knew we were having a big dinner, so we stopped in here to have a "light" lunch. We got some…read moreoutdoor seating since it was a hot day, and it's nice to be able to sit outside. However, there is a lot of traffic on the road, so that did deter a bit from the dining atmosphere. It also took ages for our order to get taken, but when it did, things picked up quite a bit. We started with a great bottle of Rose champagne (as you do when you're in the region), and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much that we hunted down the winery later and bought a couple of bottles to take home. I decided to get the salmon three ways (tartare, smoked and grilled), while my partner got the beef three ways (tartare, smoked and grilled). They also gave us some great nibbles to start, including a bit of salmon pate. (You know, just in case I needed more salmon). The mains were great. All of my salmon was really tasty. I had a bite of my partner's tartare, and it was also fantastic. And there was quite a bit of texture which really made me like it quite a bit. All in all, lunch here was really good, and I would totally recommend it to anyone in the area!

Perfect classic French food at more than fair prices. My friend and I split the formule with two…read moreentrees, and we were still near to bursting. She had what looked like a scallop pot pie, that was big and overflowing to the point I initially thought it was a main. I had frog legs and escargot in a casserole ramekin that was fortunately smaller, because it was so rich. Our third friend had a standard but still great french onion soup. For mains, we split the supreme chicken and braised beef - both with more generous offerings of meat than we were expecting. To finish, we had such a high quality tarte fine aux pommes with homemade ice cream. The quality of the ingredients and execution was so superb that we couldn't believe it was simply vanilla bean, apples, and butter. Although it felt almost sacrilegious to be in Epernay and not have Champagne, the cheap pichets of wine were too good to pass up. Coffees were also cheap and fortunately not burnt like in Paris. Everyone, from the manager, to our server, and the busser, was friendly and helpful - a nice change of pace for my friends who were tired of the Parisian gruffness. The restaurant is located on the picturesque square, just around the corner from the main avenue for Champagne. We got there at a pretty late hour for lunch, but they were still happy to serve. I highly recommend this as the lunch spot before you go tasting.

The service was terrible here. This restaurant had no employees who spoke English…read more Luckily, our friend who speaks seven different languages fluently, So she had to order for all 10 of us. The food was overall pretty good. Nobody had any real complaints about their main except for me. The steak I had was gristly and not even medium rare, as I had asked for; it was super tough. Basically, I didn't eat it and left it on the table, literally the worst steak I've ever had. The plus is that it's really cool inside. It's an ancient bank; the floor, ceiling, and decor were a bit modern, some light woods, giant marble pillars, and a very different kind of Chandler with fabric. This was the fanciest restaurant we went to the whole time we were in Epernay. It was just OK. I would say a solid three stars. And if you don't speak French, unfortunately, you're not gonna get much help here. Every single store or restaurant we went to in Epernay had people who spoke English. We did not have a hard time, and we were told we were going to this restaurant. They said there was simply no one who spoke English as a server. Still, I have noticed that most European restaurants do not appreciate large groups, just FYI, mainly because most are on the smaller side and cannot accommodate them. I'll keep an eye on this restaurant, see if it gets any better. Clearly, everybody who's gone there has only given them three stars, too. I'll keep you posted! Cheers, my friends SYOY 11/24/25

We had a…read morelist of places that we wanted to try in Epernay, but some of them are closed in Sunday and we had a bit of trouble making reservations due to the language barrier. The style and decor of this place is a bit dated, but I'm not sure if it's old or purposely done that way. When we walked in, it was empty, but it filled up quickly. I think we were pretty much ahead of all the crowds by 30 minutes everywhere we went. You have the option of 4 or 5 courses, cheese course is included with either choice. I think every table we overheard asked about portion sizes and whether they should choose 4 or 5. 4 courses is plenty of food, but you should choose the 5 cause you're in Champagne, so why not. The sauce for my langoustines was a bit too fishy for my taste, but my fish and beef dishes were both really good. And tart for dessert was delicious. The French really know how to do pastries. They don't do wine parings, so we were recommended a bottle and it went very well with the food. We did learn that the champagne that is aged in oak goes better with food. Overall a very good dining experience.

De serveerder vergat een drankje, we kregen dat na 3x vragen toen de meesten hun eten al hadden. Een van de gerechten kwam veel later, een stukje biefstuk wat rood besteld was. Het kwam verbrand en doorbakken, zo' n 10 minuten nadat de rest eten kreeg. Daarnaast had ik gevraagd of ze het glutenvrij konden maken. Dit leek de bediening niet te begrijpen. Daarom vroeg ik of ze de saus weg konden laten. Het bord kwam met saus over de salade, een quiche hapje met heel veel saus en extra saus in een bakje. Daarnaast waren er over het hele bord gebakken uitjes gestrooid (waar gluten in zitten). Ik vroeg aan een andere serveerster of ze in de keuken wilde checken of het goed ging. Ze vroeg eerst of ik het wel goed besteld had. Daarna vergat ze wat ik gevraagd had. Na 10 minuten proberen de aandacht te trekken ben ik naar de bar gelopen. Daar vroeg dame aan een collega achter de bar of het glutenvrij was en ze verzekerde me dat dat zo was, maar leek hier niet zeker van te zijn. Tldr: dit restaurant is niet in staat rekening te houden met allergieen, vergeet drinken te brengen, serveert aangebrand eten en vergeet vragen op te volgen.

The resto is " large " in that there is a downstairs and an upstairs seating area. We were seated upstairs. The styling and decor are quite nice and they added to the ambiance.

Needless to say, we were able to order our food. We ordered the 3-course menu, but started with oysters. The oysters were the star of the meal followed by the chicken. I really liked the soup - it tasted like butternut squash but I'm not sure. Enjoy!
